	Stone (weight) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stone is a unit of mass in the Imperial system of weights and measures used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and most Commonwealth countries.
		Potatoes, for example, were traditionally sold in stones or half-stones (14-pound or 7-pound quantities).
		In the United States and Canada, where stone as a unit of weight is generally unknown, people would normally describe themselves as weighing "158 pounds" (using the same amount of weight as in the previous example).

	English weights and measures: Weights
		The basic unit of weight in the British system is the grain - originally based on the weight of a grain of barley (but note that money was based on the grain of wheat - and that three grains of barley weigh the same as four of wheat).
		The weight of one grain is constant throughout the many different systems of British weights.
		This number of grains comes from the traditional weight of an English silver penny of 22½ grains (Troy, or grains of barley - the same as 30 grains of wheat), and 240 pennies to the pound.

		Each stone surface was smoothed by wet sanding using #8 and sandpaper and polishing using a #150 sandpaper to approximate the size and weight measured with a Scaltec weighing scale.

		However, 2 stones (stones #6 and stone #13) which were composed of calcium 45%-oxalate 70%-phosphate 5%-uric acid 10% respectively, did not dissolve probably because of such factors like bonding among its component and intrinsic properties that affect dissolution.

	Sweeping Fundamentals
		To cover the path of the stone, the stroke should be 6 to 8 inches long and applied directly in the path of the stone's running surface.
		The sweeper closes to the stone, the inside sweeper, is responsible for judging the speed (weight) of the stone.

		The heavy weight is usually not thrown for distance in Scotland (only the light weight is thrown for distance and the heavy weight is only tossed for height).
		Therefore, a handicap of 1 foot per pound is a conservative adjustment favoring the lighter stones, and 2 feet per pound is a sufficient penalty for underweight stones because the penalty is greater than the average atvantage.
		In both cases, if the #42 weight is overweight or underweight, the weight is first handicapped to #42, then converted to #56.

	Bob's Rock Shop: Online Gem Weight Calculator
		The weight of a stone cut from a particular material can be calculated as the product of the stone's volume times the specific gravity of the material.
		If your stone is cut per the planview and angles as given in the GemCad diagram, and your measurement of its width is accurate, the calculator and a scale should agree pretty closely.
		Specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of a volume of a particular material to the weight of an identical volume of water.
